Hi
Sometimes when I try and connect guest PC's to my network I get the same
problem, seems that Samba does not want to authorise them. The work around
I use is to map a network drive to the resource I need to use but rather
than using server name I use the server addres 10.0.0.x and I use the full
user name in the connect as another user client\username rather than just
the username. This works for me everytime I get the problems you are. Try
it.
Good Luck Dave
